- Abstract
In the title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(4)ClO(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Zn(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms from two 4-chloro-benzoate ligands and two N atoms from a chelating 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) mol-ecule in a distorted N(2)O(2) tetra-hedral geometry. The Zn(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis, which also passes through the mid-point of the central C-C bond of the bpy ligand. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridine rings of the bpy ligands [centroid-centroid distance = 3.642 (3) Å] link the complex mol-ecules into a two-dimensional supra-molecular structure parallel to (100). An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond is also observed.
